The Russian Revolution was a series of two revolutions: the first overthrew the imperial government and the second installed the Bolsheviks in power.

Explanation:

• The Russo-Japanese War (1904–1955) brought an embarrassing end to centuries of almost uncontrolled Russian dominance in Asia. This military defeat not only dashed Russia's aspirations to dominate all of Asia, but it also sparked a surge of domestic upheaval.
• Nicholas II was forced by the Revolution of 1905 to write the October Manifesto, which purportedly changed Russia from an unrestricted dictatorship to a constitutional monarchy.
• Even moderate aristocracy was becoming dissatisfied with the tsar's reactionary policies, which occasionally led to the collapse of the Duma, or Russian parliament, which was the main outcome of the 1905 revolution. The numerous ethnic minorities that made up the Russian Empire became more and more indignant under Russian rule.
